Getting ebooks
The internet is a massive source of ebooks. However with ebooks (like
with music) you will also find content that is illegal and infringing on
copyright. We recommend only using book stores and sources of
copyright-free material. Not only because of the copyright issue, but also
because ebooks offered illegally often are poorly formatted or can

sources of copyright-free ebooks are Project Gutenberg and Manybooks.

We recommend using subfolders for your books (you could do this based

one folder to 25 pieces.
